Same here.

I have plan for this in my next project.
I did something similar before, actually it’s very simple but there is a special tools for it

Here is the tools

bigblow:
You are right Sir. I noticed it compared to prices i got from sources afterwards. This stage was a painful lesson for me and going forward, i have to checkmate everyone involved in this project closely.

Chekitaut:
Successful gang up. Its clear now.

saydfact:
Dear,,,,

I must commend you -

In Architect, EVEN IF and i repeat EVEN IF the president of NIA designs a flat (as small as that is) - a year 2 student of Architect would fault it and be justified..... THERE IS NO 1 SOLUTION; just a client brief and a design that best suits that....

However, your comments are constructive because you have attempted to solve any client concern that arises....

With the ways things are progressing I think we'll get a breakthrough soon with someone stepping up to the plate.

The other guy in the same estate that used this plan has one of the best structure in the estate. So I guess Ilorin architect are not up compare to lagos architect.

Biko let me live lagos building structure in Ilorin ooo...

I understand. The issue is that most of the folks here seemingly went tot he same school or for some reason the materials are not readily available here. These are some samples that I am still searching for someone to do.

bixton:
To the best of my knowledge it's all about being creative. It all gets down to how much one intends to spend in getting it done right.
The option I described if done in an orderly manner and with a pre-cast slab will serve its purpose and also serve as added design on the plot while the other section takes the stamped concrete.

All it takes is to make the plan(s) from the beginning on paper from the layout designs and follow accordingly.

uncleteeh:
No. it is, we don't really separate toilet from bathroom over here, Baths are always attached with toilets, therefore, they go along with each other.
Our definitions and interpretation too could be slightly different.

I've been designing a particular landscape for the past one month, each problem I think would arise in the future, I look for a way to solve it in the design phase. As per ur relocation, installing this or something similar under ur hardscape during the construction phase would have prevented your current headache

bixton:
Whatever the name it's being called be it "stamped concrete or Increte", its way better than interlocking or paving stones.

The issue of maintenance arising from pipes(waste or water) beneath the soil should not be a disadvantage. All one needs to do is to do your piping as close by to the building or by the fence in an orderly manner and make those areas green areas and the other section for the stamped concrete. The alternative option is to do some form of casement(block or concrete) to lay the pipes between and the covering should be sealed with partitioned precast slabs that can be easily removed if the time for maintenance arises.

That's a normal closet but a walk closet looks different here.
Though some houses have a separate rooms for clothing with closet in it.

omanzo02:
Closet is a enclosure for clothes, shoes, bags and personal accessories etc.....a walk in closet is a walk in space for keeping clothes, shoes and person accessories and being that it's spacious you can easily manoeuvre to dress up in it. It could be in concrete, wooden, aluminium or preferred materials.

European perspective.

Ibk2020:
Someone with this same design in the estate from same architect, has more than 5 parking space. I dont know how come

omanzo02:
I have a different opinion about client and professional(architect) relationship, client uses instinct of attraction to source product (building) whether it's compatible, affordable, compliant, durable, suitable etc is irrelevant in the first instance, it's the duty of the professional to bring the client to reality of the instance mentioned above.
Yes, the client own the build and employed the services the architect but he/she must render his professional services without conceal or misleading a client in buying nor accepting a plan, he must exhaust all avenues to get the client to understand the advantages and disadvantages of a product. I know Nigeria have reliable professionals that do their work judiciously but majority have Alaba market ONE CHANCE mentality toward marketing.

It's easy to follow up my project from distance, I thoroughly studied my plan before approving work and I get pictorial, live video and audio reports at intervals daily and an independent individuals checking if all the necessity conformed and I didn't find anything different when I am on ground..... it's modern time, there are a lot we could do without being physically present.

bigblow:
Cost of blinding 45,000

Ibk2020:
I want to be certain of the floor plan before proceeding

Ibk2020:
Infact, most building in that estate is built without fence, most buildings are built on all the plot without any parking space. Some built 5 bedroom with bq on that same dimensions . The estate is secure with security, so most residents Park outside their building.

Ibk2020:
I only plan to get a suggested floor plan to give him... I dont want to build and regret, I will appreciate if u can assist.

* bed room 1 en-suite
* bed room 2 en-suite
* visitors toilet
* kitchen *average size**( only dining door and exit door behind)
* ( kitchen store should have ventilation)
* entrance porch
* ante room
* laundry
* lobby (should have a window, to avoid **dark** lobby)

n3xt:
I don’t know what some architects think when they’re conceptualizing/designing a house.

How can a kitchen of 13sqm have 3 doors? How much functional space is left?

Space planning is a fundamental element of the interior design process.

Let’s not talk about cost of having 5 doors in kitchen/laundry.

Sagolo sago people

One took off with my trash can.

bixton:
My bad......
Anyways I don't know what kind of sand they use for plastering in that area or elsewhere and if it's the same cement we are using too. I would really like to see a pix of them builds where this mix is used before extra aesthetic is done on the wall.

Where I come from without telling the workman(mason) he knows it's 1 cement bag =8 paint bucket for plastering.

Ibk2020:
The land is located in an estate,

na so Dem steal my motorcycle earlier this year. There are two dogs in the compound but none made a sound.

Most likely voodoo... It happens all the time and I don't think it would be any different if the building is a bungalow or a duplex, I remember one time an entire street with security gates was robbed and no one noticed until the following morning

EgunMogaji2:
Very well written.

I was Mr. Bungalow before I moved back home. I now know it’s duplex for me for safety. It’s makes for much easier living to turn the entire top floor into a safe zone than my safe room downstairs.

For the diasporans, try to do more planning while on the ground. Mist of my plans that were made in the comfort of the USA has been realigned today fit the reality on the ground.

One neighbor here was robbed. They woke up to find out that they slept all through a burglary. Money kept amin the same room they were in and electronics were taken. The 3 Rottweilers slept too and vet had to attend to those as they were comatose. Was it voodoo or some sort of sleeping gas? I don’t know but I think if it was a duplex the perps would have had a tougher time.
